The grapes were harvested by hand at 22.4° to 23.5° Balling. The grapes were divided into three different parts and each crushed, clarified and fermented separately. A combination tank and 10% barrels were used and the wine remained on the lees for 3 months.
The barrels were rolled or stirred regularly to suspend the lees in order to gain complexity, better integrated oak flavors and to add to the mouth-feel of the wine. No malolactic fermentation contributed to the wine’s crisp and plush acidity that enhances that long lingering sensation. The wine is also vegan as no animal products were used in the production process.
